The Lord of the Rings Part Two: The Two Towers. J.R.R. Tolkien
The journey continues... I've moved on to "The Lord of the Rings Part Two : The Two Towers" by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The Lord of the Rings saga continues in The Two Towers,the second volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
Frodo and his Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in a battle in the Mines of Moria. And Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape, the rest of the company was attacked by Orcs. Now they continue the journey alone down the great River Anduin—alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
“Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century. The book presents us with the richest profusion of new lands and creatures, from the beauty of Lothlórien to the horror of Mordor.”—Sunday Telegraph
The Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship of the Ring. J.R.R. Tolkien
I'm starting a long journey with... "The Lord of the Rings Part One: The Fellowship of the Ring" by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The Fellowship of the Ringis the first volume in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure tale, The Lord of the Rings.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
“A unique, wholly realized other world, evoked from deep in the well of Time, massively detailed, absorbingly entertaining, profound in meaning.”—TheNew York Times
The Hobbit. J.R.R. Tolkien. The Lord of the Rings prelude
I'm embarking on a great journey... and enjoying "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The journey through Middle-earth begins here with J.R.R. Tolkien's classic prelude to his Lord of the Rings trilogy.
“A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible... All those, young or old, who love a fine adventurous tale, beautifully told, will take The Hobbit to their hearts.”—The New York Times Book Review
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." So begins one of the most beloved and delightful tales in the English language—Tolkien's prelude to The Lord of the Rings. Set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth, at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale, The Hobbit is one of literature's most enduring and well-loved novels.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.
Directed by Peter Jackson, based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) was the epic conclusion to the saga put forth in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movie franchises. The film won the Best Picture Academy Award, the first and only time a fantasy film has done so, but the trophy was more in recognition of the grand accomplishment of the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy… the entire sum of it's parts. The story picks up where the last film left off, with Frodo Baggins and Samwise heading to destroy the One Ring in Mordor. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Gandalf and Legolas battle the Orc armies of the Dark Lord Sauron in an epic battle for Middle Earth. As in the previous installments, medieval historic elements and Celtic mythology make appearances in the aesthetic look of set design, arms and armor. The CGI effects are amazing, and the films deserve every bit of the praise they receive. The cast does a wonderful job in reprising their roles, including Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, Liv Tyler as Arwen, Ian McKellan as Gandalf, Sean Astin as Samwise, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, Cate Blanchett, John Rhys-Davies, Bernard Hill, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Hugo Weaving and Ian Holm.
